51 – Self-Congratulations

Unlike Ascalon’s usual appearance of burning with red flames, this is the second time until today that blue flames surround the blade and burn.

The first time I dealt with the former demon king,

And the second one is today…

My arms were shaking from the heat that was so strong that even I, the owner and magician of the holy sword, could hardly hold it.

The blue flames surrounding the sword grew even bigger and made a roaring noise.

“[Supernova]”

Ascalon, which had gone into a supernova, radiated more and more heat, even the two Four Heavenly Kings, who were watching in front of it, raised their arms to cover their faces.

“Can I say that again?”

Seir, the Four Heavenly Kings, was hesitant when he saw my mood and the state of the Holy Sword, which were completely different from before.

Kimaris, who had been charging with a stage cannon from before, raised his sword again without even noticing and rushed at me.

Kang!!!!

Same pattern of attacks…

This is new and difficult to block, just like when you first block it…

Since he kept doing the same attack over and over again, he quickly came up with a knack and was able to block it easily.

And…

The truth of my attack came from the sword of Kimaris facing me…

Gee hee hee…

The sword he is holding must also be a demonic sword recognized in the demon realm…

The blue flame of the awakened holy sword caught fire like dry firewood,

On the ground, the molten iron that melted the demonic sword dripped down, indicating the temperature of the holy sword.

“This… I can’t believe it…”

Surprised by the sight of his demonic sword melting, Kimaris hurriedly tried to remove his sword, but

The two swords, which had already been glued together by the melted iron, did not know that they would fall apart.

The heat of the holy sword gradually grew stronger and could not melt the demonic sword, and even affected the hand of Kimaris holding the sword.

“Keuuu!!!”

If only the pain of the burn was great…

Kimaris, who had been fighting silently until now, started screaming in pain.

“If you do not surrender, even your hands will stick to the sword and burn together. Drop your sword and surrender.”

If you let go of the demonic sword, you will be able to save your life…

“…. Cu… Ji.. A true swordsman never lets go of his sword until the battle is over… If you’re going to sympathize, you’d rather cut my throat.”

Even with my final notice, he did not let go of his sword to protect his pride as a swordsman,

I was struggling to somehow get my demon sword off of my holy sword.

And… After a while…

Roaring!

Kimaris, who was stubborn and did not give up his sword until the end, eventually started burning on the spot by the flame of the holy sword.

Frightened by this, Seir, the Four Heavenly Kings, distanced himself from me and now ran away so far that he was barely out of sight.

*

After the battle with Kimaris,

Rather than chasing Seir, the Four Heavenly Kings who ran away, I started looking for the necromancer…

Before entering the valley,

If it is the destructive power of the divine magic supposedly shot by Emilia,

It was because the undead that had gathered together by now were scattered all over the place, and it seemed that the allied forces were fighting a tough battle.

When I returned to the entrance of the valley after thoroughly searching the valley, the undead who had lost control of the necromancer were wandering with no place to go.

Unlike when I first came here, I didn’t show any organized attacks or alignment.

“Hero.”

As soon as I came out to the entrance of the valley, Irene, who had been fighting the undead, ran to me as if she had been waiting for me.

“What about Elaim?”

“She said she was worried about Lucia and went back to the village.”

At the entrance of the valley, there were frozen zombies and the remains of skeletal soldiers covered in huge blocks of ice.

It was still far from winter, but the cold wind was blowing fiercely.

“What happened?”

“That’s…”

Irene told me stories after I went into the valley,

The person who scattered the undead here and there while happily shooting magic returned to the village saying that mana and holy power had fallen.

“Whoa, whoa…”

“What happened in the valley? I felt a tremendous amount of magic inside…”

“Two of the Four Heavenly Kings appeared. I somehow killed one on the spot, but the other ran away and I couldn’t catch it.”

“…There was no necromancer.”

“Yeah…”

Irene, who read Kir’s note together yesterday in the barracks, seemed to know what she was thinking.

She is Her From her point of view, she probably has no doubts that the demon lord, soldier Kir, is helping me, the hero…

“Let’s go back to the village for now. Judging from the fact that the undead have lost control, it seems that the necromancers have also withdrawn…”

“Yes.”

I haven’t heard anything about the situation in the village yet, but

Somehow, judging from the number of undead here, it must have been a tough fight for the allied forces.

As expected…

On the way to the village, I ran into soldiers still fighting the undead on the battlefield,

As much as the remains of the undead were piled up, the corpses of the soldiers were scattered all over the place.

And…

Let’s get to the village…

“Ahhh… Save people…”

“I don’t want to die! Help me!!”

“aaa!”

From the entrance of the village, the wounded groans of pain continued until they reached the barracks.

There, I saw Lucia, dressed in bloodstained clothes that did not match her blue hair.

And beside him, I saw Elaim full of displeasure…

“Hero!!!”

As soon as I started talking to Lucia, Lucia ran to me with her bloody hands and hugged me.

“I was very worried! The number of injured suddenly increased… I wondered if the hero was at fault…”

Lucia, who was held in my arms, was shedding tears of the pain she had suffered until now.

Unlike her personality, who would normally be careful not to get blood on my clothes, she held my clothes tightly and didn’t let go, whether or not there was blood on me.

“It’s okay. Lucia. I’m fine.”

At the time I was brushing Lucia’s hair in my arms,

Elam, who had been walking slowly, confessed her dissatisfaction…

“Tell Lucia something.”

“Yes?”

“I tried to heal the soldiers here at once with an area heal, but it keeps making me unable to use it.”

“??”

If you treat the soldiers here with a wide area heal like last time in the kingdom of Erupe, you will be able to reduce the suffering time of the wounded…

I tried to ask Lucia instead with my eyes,

Lucia, who was hesitant, opened her mouth slowly.

“Well… He said that there is a saintess in this town… I was wondering if I could use something like that and send a Heretic Inquisitor like last time…”

She was a saint this time too.

Lucia is still left with the trauma of what the heretic inquisitors did,

I was reluctant to do anything that might lead to blasphemy…

Every time I saw such a scene, the feelings I had endured for the saintess until now surged up like water and made me angry.

Not because of what happened three years ago,

I was angry that he forgot about it and came to me like this and interfered with everything.

It wasn’t just Emilia.

From Iluen to Lydia…

“Lucia. I’ll take responsibility for everything, so let’s treat the injured here first. Everyone is in so much pain.”

“…… Yes…”

Only after hearing my words, he nodded to Elaim and headed towards the place where the patients were gathered…

I’m not looking for a necromancer

Until now,

I headed to the barracks to do the most important thing I had to do.

*****

While the other inns in the town have been turned into temporary hospitals for injured adventurers,

At the only luxury inn in town, there were three women who were high-ranking adventurers, nobles, and former warriors.

“For our victory! Cheers!”

Lydia, who relieved all her stress by unleashing her magic after a long time, was celebrating her celebration by raising her wine glass high.

The other two women, unlike the previous day, shouted together as they matched Lydia’s toast.

“I hear everyone is the way they used to be? I was worried about what to do if my skills were reduced.”

“No. From what I see, Lydia, you seem stronger than before.”

“Really? hahahahaha! Is it because you put too much effort into giving birth?”

“Puff…”

At Lydia’s joke, Iluen spits out the wine she was drinking,

Even Emilia, who drank wine discreetly next to her, couldn’t help but smile while covering her mouth.

“I’m sure even the warriors saw well that our skills didn’t rust, right? Yes?”

“No way.”

While Lydia and Iluen continue to praise themselves,

Emilia’s face was gradually darkening…

“Emilia, what’s wrong?”

“… No way… The hero wouldn’t say anything about the explosion we caused earlier, right? Apparently… The undead were scattered and many battles took place here and there…”

“What are you talking about, Emilia! We caught as many undead as we scattered earlier. That’s it! This much damage is all because of that new warrior party! Guess they did just as well as we did. I wonder if the undead were scattered like that?”

“……”

I don’t know if Lydia was trying to comfort Emilia, or if she was trying to comfort herself, but

He said with an innocent face, blaming the new warrior party for the scattering of the undead by the explosion.

“Come on, don’t be like that, everyone, have a drink!”

“Lydia, aren’t you drinking too much?”

“Is it because I couldn’t drink when I was pregnant?”

“You haven’t had a drink in 10 months?”

“Well… I drank it secretly.”

Lydia was having her conversation with Emilia exchanging jokes with Illuen to get rid of her anxiety,

They continued drinking to celebrate the victory and rebuild the former warrior party,
